2. Поставьте глаголы в скобках в the simple present или the present continuous tense: 1 Cuckoos dont...

Конечно, давайте разберем каждый пункт и поставим глаголы в скобках в нужное время — the simple present (простое настоящее время) или the present continuous (настоящее продолженное время):

1. Cuckoos don't build nests. They use the nests of other birds.

   • Здесь уже все правильно. Глаголы стоят в правильной форме: "don't build" и "use" в the simple present, так как речь идет о факте и регулярном действии.

2. You can't see Tom now: he is having a bath.

   • Здесь также все правильно. "Is having" в the present continuous, так как действие происходит в данный момент.

3. He usually drinks coffee but today he is drinking tea.

   • "Usually drinks" — это регулярное действие (the simple present), а "is drinking" — действие, происходящее в данный момент (the present continuous).

4. What does she do in the evenings? ~ She usually plays cards or watches TV.

   • Вопрос "What does she do" в the simple present, так как речь идет о регулярных действиях. Ответ "She usually plays" также должен быть в the simple present (обычное действие).

5. I won't go out now as it is raining and I don't have an umbrella.

   • "It is raining" — действие в данный момент (the present continuous). "Don't have" — состояние, а не действие, поэтому используется the simple present.

6. The last train leaves the station at 11.30.

   • Здесь все верно. "Leaves" в the simple present, так как речь идет о расписании.

7. He usually speaks so quickly that I don't understand him.

   • "Usually speaks" — регулярное действие (the simple present), "don't understand" — состояние в ответ на это действие (the simple present).

8. Ann is making a dress for herself at the moment. She makes all her own clothes.

   • "Is making" в the present continuous, так как действие происходит в данный момент. "Makes" в the simple present, так как это регулярное действие.

9. Hardly anyone wears a hat nowadays.

   • Здесь все верно. "Wears" в the simple present, так как речь идет о привычке или общем факте.

10. I'm afraid I've broken one of your coffee cups. — Don't worry. I don't like that set anyway.

    • "Don't like" в the simple present, так как это выражение постоянного состояния или чувства.

11. I am wearing my sunglasses today because the sun is very strong.

    • "Am wearing" в the present continuous, так как действие происходит в данный момент. "Is" в the simple present, так как это факт.

12. Tom can't have the newspaper now because his aunt is reading it.

    • "Is reading" в the present continuous, так как действие происходит в данный момент.

13. I'm busy at the moment. I am redecorating the sitting room.

    • "Am redecorating" в the present continuous, так как действие происходит в данный момент.

14. The kettle is boiling now. Shall I make the tea?

    • "Is boiling" в the present continuous, так как действие происходит в данный момент.

15. Are you enjoying yourself or would you like to leave now? - I am enjoying myself very much. I want to stay to the end.

    • "Are you enjoying" в the present continuous, так как речь идет о текущем состоянии. "Am enjoying" также в the present continuous по той же причине. "Want" в the simple present, так как это выражение желания или состояния.
